Under the Radar: Why now is the time for emerging markets
ClearBridge Investments believes emerging market equities have turned a corner, showing strong performance after years of lagging returns.
Despite recent turmoil in global markets, we believe that the longer-term direction of travel is clear: emerging markets are spreading prosperity at home and driving growth abroad. The downturn has opened investment opportunities and, in our view, provides an attractive entry point for long-term investors.
From fundamental- and passive-equity investing to local and hard-currency debt, and alternative investments, our investment strategies are founded on experience and the deep expertise of investment teams on-the-ground globally.

This material is intended to be of general interest only and should not be construed as individual investment advice or a recommendation or solicitation to buy, sell or hold any security or to adopt any investment strategy. All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee that a strategy will meet its objective. Performance may also be affected by currency fluctuations. Reduced liquidity may have a negative impact on the price of the assets. Currency fluctuations may affect the value of overseas investments. Where a strategy invests in emerging markets, the risks can be greater than in developed markets. Where a strategy invests in derivative instruments, this entails specific risks that may increase the risk profile of the strategy. Where a strategy invests in a specific sector or geographical area, the returns may be more volatile than a more diversified strategy.
